postheadericon Thinking about getting a new puppy or dog

Thinking about getting a new puppy or dog? If you are, then you might want to consider signing up for dog obedience classes, especially if you are a first-time dog owner at that. It’s fun to have a dog or puppy around, but that is if the one you got has good manners. Because if not, you might regret getting one in the first place.

So, when you bring home your new pet, make sure that you put enrolling in dog obedience classes on top of your priority to-do list. However, since there are lots of dog obedience schools offering this kind of classes, you must be keen in choosing the one that meets your requirements. So, when signing up for dog obedience classes, here are some things to remember.

First, look into the reputation of the dog obedience school offering dog training classes. Of course, the more popular the school is, the more reliable it could be. Try to ask from your neighbors for suggestions. Also, you can talk to friends, colleagues, and relatives who have already tried dog obedience classes for their pets. But the most reliable recommendation that you can get is from your local veterinarian. He/she knows where dogs can be trained well in your area, so check out the name he/she recommends.

Now, if you don’t anyone who can recommend you a reputable dog school, you can always rely on the Internet for information. Some dog obedience schools have already conquered the web to reach more potential clients. So, start doing your research online and check on the school’s feedbacks to know whether their services are good or not.

Next, see whether the trainers comprising the school have sincere love and attachment to dogs. This is a little difficult to determine because anybody can claim that he loves dogs and enjoys training them. So, how to know this? Try to observe the classes first. For example, if you have a friend who has a dog enrolled in one, you can always join them during sessions and note your observations. If the qualities of the trainer meet your requirements, then consider that school on top of your list.

And lastly, of course, you have to consider the cost of signing up in a dog obedience class. If your dog is a high-breed, the cost of getting one may already be high enough, much more if you start buying dog foods and bringing it to a veterinarian for some check-ups. So, ask yourself, can you still afford the cost that goes with training your dog or puppy? Before signing up, make sure that you inquire about this first because you might end up quitting the course just because you run out of budget.

So there you go. Now that you know all these, you’re off to getting the right dog obedience classes for you and your pet. Take note that a dog obedience class can very much help you teach your new dog some basic commands like sit, stay, come, and down. Once your pet learns all these, you will have more control over it during social events.

So, never underestimate the significance of these classes for you and your dog.

postheadericon Not only big in size, newfoundland dogs are big in strength and big on loyalty

Not only big in size, Newfoundland dogs are big in strength and big on loyalty. Typically black in color, the loving and patient Newfoundland dog is distinct with its unique webbed paw which enables them to be great swimmers. Once used for working dogs in water rescue. They are considered easy to train and eager to please. Very relaxed, almost sluggish at times this giant pet like most of the extra large breed dogs has a slower metabolism which means less intense exercise but measuring 6 feet from nose to tail, and males weighing up to 160 pounds on average, you need to make sure you have the room for this black bear in your home.

The coat of the Newfoundland means grooming weekly as they will shed and matt like crazy. Perhaps an outdoor space including a fenced yard for him to stretch his giant body and an extra large dog house, even with climate control would be nice to keep him comfortable under all that fur. When dealing with a pet this size you can’t help but factor in the logistics of how they will ‘fit’ literally, into the home. Their disposition is one that is calm, gentle and loving which make them excellent in a home with children. They will protect with a deep bark when their keen sense of hearing picks up the noise of someone approaching.

As with many large breeds, they can develop problems with hips carrying their weight in later years. The extra large dog house will give them space to lie down out of the way so they don’t have to keep getting up to move. With their enormous size and weight, it can be a challenge to work around them in the home at times so this outside oasis for rest and relaxation may be the best idea for dog and owners alike.

postheadericon When it comes to finding the best organic pet food for your dog, you have to sort through a lot of hype and claims

When it comes to finding the best organic pet food for your dog, you have to sort through a lot of hype and claims. One of the biggest and most confusing claims you will find is the difference between “all natural” and “organic.”

Many people will mistakenly believe that organic and all natural mean the same thing. Each designation, however, will lead you down a path to a very different road. Although there is some cross-over, you need to know the difference.

The Difference Between “Organic” and “Natural” –

Pet food is not regulated as strictly as the food made for human consumption. This means that producers can take organic vegetables add some non-organic beef and chicken and some toxic ingredients like chemicals and preservatives and still call it “organic.”  Basically, this means that a pet food does not have to be 100% organic to be called “organic.”  The USDA seal means that 70% or more of the food is organically produced.

What you have to check out is the company (their website and their reputation); you need to check to make sure there are no animal by-products, no chemicals, no pesticides, no herbicides, and no fillers. A good quality organic pet food will list this right on the website. They will want you to know and make it clear that they do not put any of these cheap or harmful ingredients in their product. It won’t be hidden.

It is Hard to Prove but Easy to See –

It is impossible to prove a company does not use anything improper. However, pet foods that are organic will want you to know. They want you to know they are completely organic and so will other people. People talk about the results from the organic pet food and often leave reviews on web sites about how well their dogs do. If your dog does well on the dog food, leave a review for others to see as well.

The best way to for the best organic dog food companies to survive is by word of mouth. Let other people know how well your dog did while eating a particular organic dog food. This way others can share in your knowledge and your great find.

Where to Find the Best Organic Dog Food –

Generally, you won’t be able to find the best dog food in your grocery store. You will need to look online. Ask your friends for recommendations because sometimes the best dog food is found by word of mouth. When you do find one that works well with your dog, by all means spread the word. Let everyone know – that way other dog owners can benefit from your great find.
